Understanding living cells as integrated systems, a challenge central to modern biology, is complicated by limitations of available imaging methods. While fluorescence microscopy can resolve subcellular structure in living cells, it is expensive, slow, and damaging to cells. Here, we present a label-free method for predicting 3D fluorescence directly from transmitted light images and demonstrate that it can be used to generate multi-structure, integrated images.

The present paper describes the size range ofTernidens deminutusfrom human and baboon hosts in Rhodesia and discusses the possible reasons for the differences noted.Using transmitted light and the scanning electron microscope, the external morphology ofT. deminutushas been re-studied and compared to investigations by other authors using transmitted light microscopy alone.The paper also illustrates the value of the scanning electron microscope in morphological studies in helminthology, especially when used in conjunction with the light microscope, to give an excellent three-dimensional picture of the species under investigation.It is intended to follow this work with further studies on the anatomy, histology, ultrastructure and histochemistry ofTernidens deminutus.

Fluorescence microscopy can be used to assess the dynamic localization and intensity of single entities in vitro or in living cells. It has been applied with aplomb to many different cellular processes and has significantly enlightened our understanding of the heterogeneity and complexity of biological systems. Recently, high-resolution fluorescence microscopy has been brought to bear on telomeres, leading to new insights into telomere spatial organization and accessibility, and into the mechanistic nuances of telomere elongation. We provide a snapshot of some of these recent advances with a focus on mammalian systems, and show how three-dimensional, time-lapse microscopy and single-molecule fluorescence shine a new light on the end of the chromosome.

Our laboratory is concerned with understanding the dynamic structure of the plasma membrane with particular reference to the movement of membrane constituents during cell locomotion. In addition to the standard tools of molecular cell biology, we employ both fluorescence recovery after photo- bleaching (FRAP) and digitized fluorescence microscopy (DFM) to investigate individual cells. FRAP allows the measurement of translational mobility of membrane and cytoplasmic molecules in small regions of single, living cells. DFM is really a new form of light microscopy in that the distribution of individual classes of ions, molecules, and macromolecules can be followed in single, living cells. By employing fluorescent antibodies to defined antigens or fluorescent analogs of cellular constituents as well as ultrasensitive, electronic image detectors and video image averaging to improve signal to noise, fluorescent images of living cells can be acquired over an extended period without significant fading and loss of cell viability.

Three dimensional microscopic structures play an important role in the understanding of various biological and physiological phenomena. Structural details of neurons, such as the density, caliber and volumes of dendrites, are important in understanding physiological and pathological functioning of nervous systems. Even so, many of the widely used stains in biology and neurophysiology are absorbing stains, such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and yet most of the iterative, constrained 3D optical image reconstruction research has concentrated on fluorescence microscopy. It is clear that iterative, constrained 3D image reconstruction methodologies are needed for transmitted light brightfield (TLB) imaging as well. One of the difficulties in doing so, in the past, has been in determining the point spread function of the system.We have been developing several variations of iterative, constrained image reconstruction algorithms for TLB imaging. Some of our early testing with one of them was reported previously. These algorithms are based on a linearized model of TLB imaging.
